MONTREAL -- A preliminary hearing is underway in Montreal for a man charged with murdering his wife in a suspected compassion killing.
Michel Cadotte, 56, was charged in February with second-degree murder, one day after his wife, Jocelyne Lizotte, was discovered in cardiac arrest at a long-term care facility.
He was granted bail under several conditions earlier this month.
The hearing is to determine whether there is enough evidence to send Cadotte to trial.
The judge in the case has placed a publication ban on the evidence and testimony to be presented.
Cadotte was present today, entering the courtroom flanked by both his sister and Lizotte's sister.
